The Day Ahead

Yesterday’s Takeaway

The dominant story was a bond selloff driven by fresh Middle East attacks pushing oil prices higher and reigniting inflation fears. The UST 10Y hit 4.79 โ€” its 52-week high โ€” while DE10Y reached 3.34, also a 52-week high, signaling synchronized global repricing of rate risk. Kevin Warsh’s perceived tilt toward a September rate hike amplified the move. California utilities bore the brunt of equity fallout: Edison International collapsed -23.07% and Pacific Gas & Electric Co. dropped -20.06%. Nuclear and energy-adjacent names surged as a counterweight โ€” Standard Nuclear, Inc. +14.26% and X-Energy, Inc. +7.14%. Asia overnight was mixed: Hang Seng slipped to HK$25,339 (-0.89% day) as MINISO Group Holding Limited shed -9.97%, while the Nikkei held at ยฅ66,461 (+0.22% day).

The Setup

Risk is elevated but not panicked. VIX sits at 14.92 (+3.40% day), well inside its 52-week range and far from distress territory. The real tension is in rates: EURIBOR3M touched its 52-week high of 2.57 (+0.39% day), confirming European markets are also repricing inflation upward. EUR/USD at 1.16 is flat, suggesting FX hasn’t yet absorbed the full bond shock. The divergence to watch: equities remain relatively composed even as sovereign yields reach cycle highs. That gap typically closes โ€” either yields retreat or equities catch down.

Today’s Watch

The UK Halifax House Price Index (06:00 London) lands in a mortgage rate environment already stressed by surging energy costs. No consensus forecast is available, but a weak print would compound the housing affordability narrative. CFTC positioning data due Friday (September 4) will reveal whether speculative flows are chasing the carry trade into MXN โ€” where the prior reading showed net longs at 82.4 โ€” or rotating out. The core question for September 1: does the Warsh rate-hike signal harden into consensus, or does softer data push back? Bond markets are the tell.
